DEMILICH from Finland was one of the best Scandinavian Death Metal bands in the 90s and together with ABHORRENCE / AMORPHIS, CONVULSE, DEMIGOD and SENTENCED they were the leading force of the Finish Death Metal scene. After 4 demos they released their cult debut "Nespithe" via the American cult label Necropolis Records in early 1993 […]
As this tape is already sold out from the band – I got copy 85/126 of the hand-numbered copies (the label copies are not numbered as far as I know) – I need to be faster with my review than usual, haha. Hopefully you still have the opportunity to get this cool demotape from these […]
After a quite successful demo tape, these young Swedish Deathsters return with more tunes of pain, death and suffering in a nice vinyl 7" EP released in co-operation by Detest and Me Saco Un Ojo Records. Little has changed form the way these people compose: heavy, low down tuned Death Metal which recalls most of […]
When it comes to Metal from Slovenia then there’s absolute no excuse to miss this superb quartet from Medvode.

Back in the days, many many years ago (almost too many, as the thoughts of back then, makes me feel a tad old), I received a CD and handwritten letter from Canada, from a viking-warrior and band I didn’t know. This was back in 2001. The man called himself Nordavinden Lien, a Canadian with Norwegian […]
Belgium’s POSSESSION is one of the countless fresh and evil hordes who refer to the old school of Black and Thrash Metal, back in the days when these subgenres weren’t exactly defined and divided. And their effort to fill this old fashioned (and still so brilliant) music with new and fresh life (or death) is […]
‘We Came To Thrash! Screw You, We Came To Thrash! Fuck You, We Came To Thraaashhh!’ Well, I guess we got the message clear enough, didn’t we? Young and relentless Finnish Thrashers NUCLEAR OMNICIDE who recorded their debut album titled "The Presence Of Evil" for the Mexican EMB Records back in 2013, as it appears, […]
